REUTERS/Johanna Geron/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Pfizer's (PFE.N) drug to treat adults with an inflammatory bowel disease called ulcerative colitis, the company said on Friday. The decision was based on data from a late-stage study that showed a reduction in disease symptoms for some patients who took the drug, when compared with the placebo. Globally, the market for inflammatory bowel diseases is about $20 billion, making it a lucrative target for drugmakers. Analysts last year estimated that peak sales for the Pfizer drug could top $3 billion a year.

He was one of eight authors of the pivotal Transformers research paper, which is central to the latest in generative artificial intelligence. He's joining fellow ex-Google researcher David Ha to build a generative AI research lab in Tokyo called Sakana AI. The T stands for Transformers, an architecture behind much of today's frenetic generative AI activity.

On Friday's episode of ABC's "Shark Tank," the billionaire investor highlighted one startup founder as an example of the latter category. "One of the great traits of any good entrepreneur is resilience, and you've certainly shown that," Cuban told Amy Leinbach, the founder of children's tool company Big Bee, Little Bee. The Huntington Beach, California-based company is known for the ScrubBee, a handheld silicone scrubber that brought in 80% of Big Bee, Little Bee's sales last year. Leinbach asked the Sharks for $100,000, in exchange for a 20% stake in Big Bee, Little Bee. At the time of taping, she said she had already invested $100,000 of her own money to build "Marker Parker."
